SharkHeads: A Rhythm&blues Rock&roll Memory
"Peter Nash’s ‘SharkHeads' is a strap in, hold on, wild ride documenting his life and times in South Florida as a R&B-Rock promo record hustler in the 60’s & 70’s.
Oh what a story it is, if Scorsese and Tarantino had a book, baby, this is it. “Petey” as he was known, paints a vivid picture of his experiences getting schooled in the many ways of launching a record by some of the best in the shadowy promo business and how he lived though it all.
Have your music library close at hand so you can listen to his tales with the sounds of those times.
You might also want to read his book close to an air conditioner as Miami's heat and humidity oozes from every page, a great read." - Andy Caulfield - - - - from the author: "This is the story of my 9 year music business career. It includes my memories of these vinyl heroes and mentors who colored my world while I grew up inside the business:
